Speaking to reporters outside and economic offences court here, Dhinakaran said: "I don't regret the action (ouster)".
He said he would not contest the RK Nagar byelection. The near-total absence of partymen and MLAs there on the party premises must have influenced his latest announcement that he had chose to keep off the AIADMK in the party's interest.
He alleged state ministers have chose to keep him out of the party due to "some fear".
On Tuesday night, Jayakumar said a committee will be formed to run the party.
Six MLAs including P Vetrivel and Thanga Tamilselvan have extended support to Dinakaran.
In the trust vote last February, the government won by 122 votes against 11 by the OPS camp.
"They wanted me to stay away, so I will stay away". "I will have to consult Sasikala on resigning as she appointed me as Deputy General Secretary", he said.

The victor in Georgia will succeed Republican Tom Price, who resigned to join Trump's administration as health secretary. She ran an unsuccessful campaign for US Senate in 2014 and is a senior vice president of public policy at Susan G.
She further said there are many cases against the Sasikala faction and, therefore, they are going to be behind the bars. Before heading for jail, Sasikala made Dinakaran, her nephew, the party No 2.
Following her imprisonment, her loyalists elected Edappadi Palaniswami as Chief Minister. From then on, his slide was rapid.
Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker M. Thambidurai, speaking to a news channel in New Delhi on Wednesday, urged Dinakaran to respect the party's decision.
A couple of days after registering an FIR against AIADMK leader TTV Dinakaran in connection with a bribery case, the Delhi police have issued a lookout notice against him.
"After Amma's (Jayalalithaa) death, the party went into the hands of Sasikala's family and to prevent it we had launched a dharma yudh".
The rebels came out in the open when Dinakaran was away in Bengaluru to meet Sasikala and discuss the issue. Upon his return to Chennai, he announced his decision to bow out.
However, the merger won't be easy. "Sasikala's appointment as the general secretary is illegal and we will not accept it. Family politics will not be accepted", he asserted. "We have submitted all this to the Election Commission yesterday and asked to inquire into the matter", Panneerselvam said. It has been learnt that he had struck a deal for Rs50 crore for helping the AIADMK faction keep the "two leaves" symbol, said an officer privy to the probe.
